Roger all.

I found an excellent listing of Belgian Proof Marks by doing a Google word search of... you guessed it.... "Belgian Proof Marks"

What troubles me about this particular revolver is that even though it is marked for .44-40 I see no accommodation for the cartridge neck in the chamber. I know it is very slight but I really can't see it.

I have some .44-40 smokeless cowboy rounds but they will never be fired from this revolver.

I will take your advice (BP only).
